    Classic Anglophilphobia

    The gratuitous sneer at Masterpiece Theatre pretty much says it all: an Anglophilphobe. What underlies this enormous review--other than sheer ignorance--is a dislike of Anglophiles. It's true the pure Anglophile is ridiculous--tho not as ridiculous as a suburban whiteboy pouncing as a gangsta rapper.
